aaa ee CAL CAN'T FIND DISCRIMINATION, BUT NEGRO CAN Republicans Lose Out, _.A.N. L. C. Points Way A recent dispatch states that Sena- tor William M. Butler, whose cam- paign for return to the United States senate is about to begin and who is chairman of the national republican committee, has agreed to introduce the Dyer bill, at the appeal of a dele- gation of the National Equal Rights League in Boston. He was not quite convinced that racial segregation’ is being practiced among the federal em- ployes in Washington, but he was open to convincing. All'he need do to be convinced, we should say, is keép his eyes open the next time he wisits the capital. The republican party feels itsélf slipping, in so far as the Negro is OIL COMPANIES DOUBLE Pron TS IN YEAR, PRICE OF GASOLINE UP By LELAND OLDS ‘ ‘ (Federated Press Staff Correspondént) Notice to flivver owners! ‘Profits for the first six months of 1925 ex- ceed those of the entire year 1924 in the case of 12 oil companies not of the official Standard Oil family, How did they work it?

Therefore, Senator But: ler has been picked out to patch up its political fences. It is the same old trick. Just before a political cam- paign, the old Wall Street’ parties be- gin a systematic campaign of rounding up the Negro voters. By offering all kinds of inducements to the Negro voters, they have been able to fool the Negro into believing that their problems can be settled by simply going to the polls and dropping in a ballot for a party that represents mill, mine and railroad owners. Thru the sentiment that has been aroused by the coming American Ne- gro Labor Congress which will open in Chicago Oct. 25th, one can see that the Negro is becoming well acquainted with the fake tactics of the old parties and is just about ready to break with their fake Negro leaders who fro: time to time have been selling them out for some petty job handed out as a reward for vote gathering. But when the Negro workers, who are 95 per cent of the race, throw off the shackles of the old parties, as they are sure to do, and by their united force as expressed in the coming American Negro Labor Congress, tackle segregation, lynching, jimcrow- ism and other social evils, as well as the basic economic evil, from the ground up instead of just scratching the surface as has been done hereto: fore, something may be accomplished: Klan Counsels Confused. WASHINGTON—Replying to the announced intention of klan leadefs, who are gathering for an attempt to agree on a legislative program, to promote anti-evolution and anti-im- migration -:measures, the -~editorial columnist in the Washington Post re- minds them that the ban on immigra- tion is bringing the Negro race into a far better economic position toward the whites that it has ever before had. Republican politicians, pulling klan wires in spite of the official disowning of the klan by Coolidge, admit priv- ately that the Negro problem may yet swamp the republican party chiefs. Negroes are handling more machinery in industry, each year, and are organizing among themselves more effectively. They are getting more actual power into their hands than the politicians think is safe for the party. Half year profits Associated Oil . Barnsdall Corp. Calif.
